By default, the ObjectsLT property is "", so no associated components to the split bar. This property is provided to define the controls associated with the left/top side of the split bar at design mode, but it works if using at runtime as well. The Mode property specifies whether the split bar moves objects horizontally or vertically. When the Mode property is set to exSplitBarHorz, the control resizes any controls that lie above or below it, and when the Mode is set to exSplitBarVert, it resizes controls that lie to its left or right. The AddObjectLT method adds at runtime, a new object to be updated in the left/top part of the split bar. The ObjectsRB property defines the objects to be updated on the right/bottom side of the split bar. Setting the ObjectsLT property on "" ( empty string ), releases any control/object that has been previously anchored to the slit bar, including the objects being added with the AddObjectLT method, or the split bar has nothing attached to its left/top side. The LimitLT property specifies the expression that determines the limit to drag the splitter to left/top side of its container.

By default, if a control/component/object is contained in 

• both ObjectsLT / AddObjectLT and ObjectsRB / AddObjectRB, the control/component/object will be moved ( not sized ), when the split bar moves
• else the control/component/object will be moved and sized accordingly with the side of the split bar it is anchored.

The ExtendedName property Specifies a list of property names separated by comma character, that indicates the Name property of the extended control. The Name property of an extended control specifies the name of the object within the container. The ExtendedName property defines the name of the property that can extracts the name from the container ( /COM only ).

Currently, the ObjectsLT property can be used in any of the following programming environments:

• C# for /NET Assembly
• Microsoft Office ( Access, Excel, Word )
• Visual Basic 6
• Visual Basic for /NET Assembly
• Visual FoxPro

but it could work on other containers as well.

For instance, let's say we have the following layout:

so we have two split bars ( horizontal and vertical ), and three buttons/commands. One splitter should resizes the left-most button, and the rest, and the vertical split bar show resize the top-most button and the bellow one.

Select the split bar component in design mode and specify the ObjectsLT / ObjectsRB properties as shown bellow:
